Hi all. I've been engaged in writing a number of funding submissions for Skilling Queenslanders for Work and Productivity Places Program funding over the past month or so and have been in discussion with Queensland's Department of Employment, Economic Development & Innovation about their Funding Toolkits. These consist of MS Office documents in .doc and .xls formats that are heavily customised. None of the documents that I have had the oppurtunity to use have functioned correctly in Open Office and the saved documents from Open Office don't display correctly in MS Office meaning that having an MS Office licence and proprietry operating system are the only way to effectively complete the funding applications. I would like to know if anyone on this list is aware of any, however obscure, QLD State government policy that deals with electronic document formats. The documents can be found at the following URL for anyone interested -> <a href="http://www.employment.qld.gov.au/providers/toolkit/index.htm">http://www.employment.qld.gov.au/providers/toolkit/index.htm</a> Regards. -- SIMON IVES --------------------------------- Please consider the environment before printing this email or any attachments.
